Ink up and stamp just the head of the hippo. (I tried stamping the whole body and then putting the "behind" on top, but it looked weird when the behind moved and there were still legs there) LOL.

Step 2

On a scrap piece of paper, ink up the whole hippo and stamp. Cut out just the "behind".

Step 3

On the piece of cardstock that just has the hippo's head, use your craft knife to cut out a square big enough for a dimensional to fit through, leaving a little space on each side. Attach dimensional to penny, then put penny behind cardstock with dimensional coming through cut square.

Step 4

Peel off backing and attach another penny on top of dimensional to form your "penny sandwich". (the third photo is a side view so you can see the pennies on either side of the cardstock)

Step 5

Color the hippo.

Step 6

Attach the hippo's behind on top of the penny. Once attached, tilt the piece from side to side to see that it works. If the hippo's behind doesn't tilt, try cutting the square a little bigger so the penny sandwich has a little room to move. Be careful not to cut the hole too big. . . unless you want the behind to spin around, that is!

Step 7

When you're happy with how the piece tilts, flip the whole piece over and apply dimensionals to the four corners. You want the penny sandwich to have room to move, so you don't want it to touch the card base.

Step 8

Apply mattes, embellishments and sentiment to finish card!

Hope that all made sense and that you had fun! I'd LOVE to see any "tilt cards" that you make! Be sure and post a link for me!

You are SOOOOO clever!! I'm jumping up and down, thinking of all the stamps I have that would be super cute tilters...how about the rocket ship from SU's Pun Fun?? Gotta try it! Thanks so much for the great tutorial!

About Me

I'm a SAHM of my four little "Oodabugs" Savannah, 13, Arwen, 11, Isaac, 9, and Isabelle, 7. I've spent my life as a musical theater performer, which is how I met my husband. We met while performing in a show together, though I haven't done much performing since having children. I do keep active in the field through choreographing, teaching dance and singing locally from time to time. As much as I miss the traveling performer's life, there's nothing quite like the performances I enjoy daily from my darling children.
